Courage Lies in the Heart

Anne Sourbeer Morris, Ed.D. ~ Published in Symphonies of the Soul, 1996

As I encourage my child to PURSUE new ventures,

I give her the COURAGE to risk failure:

To fall to the ground and fly again.

As I encourage my child to LEARN that which is new,

I give her the COURAGE to be open to new ideas:

To see the beauty in a world of adversity.

As I encourage my child to EXPLORE the unknown,

I give her the COURAGE to challenge herself:

To do what she has never done before.

As I encourage my child to THINK for herself,

I give her the COURAGE to grow:

To find the strength to stand behind her beliefs.

As I encourage my child to FOLLOW her dreams,

I give her the COURAGE to know what is in her heart and soar!

To love life.

To my daughters … May YOU always find courage!
